Echo Cancellation
The AMBE-2000 Vocoder Chip provides a 16 millisecond echo canceller that is suitable for canceling the local echo caused
by a 2-to-4 wire hybrid and can achieve echo cancellation of approximately 30dB or more. Only the linear portion of the echo
is cancelled, so circuits should be designed to minimize non-linearities.
The AMBE-2000 Vocoder Chip echo canceller operates by sending a 240 millisecond audible training sequence to the A/D-
D/A immediately following a reset. Best results will be achieved if the analog circuit causing any echo is stable at this time. If
the analog circuit changes substantially following this training , the echo canceller must be re-initialized, by resetting the
AMBE-2000 Vocoder Chip for optimum performance.

Echo Path A
Echo Path B
The Echo Return Loss (ERL) of the analog circuit must be 6dB or more (in diagram ERL = Echo Path A – Echo Path B) for
proper echo canceller operation. Linear A/D-D/A chips will generally provide better echo cancellation performance than
μ
law
or Alaw chips due to lower quantization noise.
The echo canceller can be activated either through the hardware pin 78, ECHOCAN_EN, or through the Control Word
interface described in section 5.2.9. See section 7.1 for important note about the ECHOCAN_EN pin.
